Former Colorado County Correctional Officer Arrested

On January 24th, the Colorado County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division received a complaint about contraband being brought into the correctional facility. This prompted an immediate investigation, which ultimately led to the arrest of Javier Torres Jr an employee of the correctional facility.
Upon receiving the complaint, Investigators and the Correctional facility Administration closely monitored jail communication recordings of inmates using the newly implemented communication system. The technology records voice calls, text messages, and video, among many other features, providing a comprehensive investigation tool. Lieutenant Jacob Gorman and investigators determined that inmates were providing a Cash App Account Linked to Torres to outside sources to fund the contraband. The Colorado County Attorney's Office issues subpoenas for records related to the account. Upon receiving those records, investigators confirmed that Torres received funds from the inmates' family and friends.
On Thursday, March 13, Chief Deputy Daniel and Sheriff Lindermann interviewed Torres, during which Torres confessed to his role in distributing prohibited items into the correctional facility. Torres was then escorted to the Colorado County Correctional Facility. The investigation is ongoing to determine if criminal charges will be brought against other individuals involved in this illegal activity.
